Below is the complaint recently filed in the Supreme Court, New York County by Donald Goode against NYC hotspot S.O.B.’s (a/k/a Sounds of Brazil). Plaintiff alleges that he was shot in the leg by a patron while he was attending a concert and party at SOBs called “Mixtape Release SDMB NYC Edition” for rapper Fat Trel.
He alleges (among other things) that SOBs “owed a duty of ordinary care to plaintiff by providing security to [plaintiff] and other patrons;” that “[i]t was foreseeable, especially in light of the name of the party” – SDMG allegedly stands for Sex, Drugs, Money and Guns – “that patrons could or would bring dangerous weapons, including guns, into the club;” that the club “undertook the duty to protect clubgoers from weapons by providing security to frisk and search patrons;” and that SOBs breached its duties and were negligent.
He seeks unspecified damages.
